FAQ for Kobra 2 Series

53 Upvotes

Hello,

a little Update: 26.12.2024

I got a GH repo that is still under development, there i Upload all needed Informations and Files for an Hardwarechange of a Kobra 2 PLUS. I choose a BTT Manta M8P V2 with BTT CB2 SBC. I ended up with Building up a new linux Image for the CB2 with Updated Kernel 6.x and Armbian 25.02. Klipper and CAN works. The only Problem is that i have to look how i can make a Image out of the System for Community.

If somone is interrested and wan´t to help DM me or come one GH.

A little note Ultimateshads is away/off/deleted his Account don´t Know what happened, because of this some Firmware files in the Chart are actually unavaillable. If someone saved the or found another location PLS make a sound!

Thanks i wish all a "Guten Rutsch" - Update End

here are some information for standard questions. It will be expand over Time please don´t post here send me DM.

Here are some nice Sites about Kobra 2 Series (Chart below) you will got a good insight if you need deeper informations. Thanks to 1coderookie (github)/ u/Catnippr (reddit)

Actual discussion Group in Klipper Board about integration of Klipper to PRO/PLUS/MAX:

https://klipper.discourse.group/t/printer-cfg-for-anycubic-kobra-2-plus-pro-max/11658

Discussion ended in nothing there will be never a Image come out to flash the Original Hardware to Klipper!!!

If you need to Switch back to Stock or Older Firmware it`s no Problem.(see attached Links in the Chart below)

Printer Infosites Stock FW (Mod/Marlin/Klipper avai.) Printer Profiles for Slicer
Kobra 2 neo Insight neo 1.5.6.3 (Marlin) Cura / Prusa
Kobra 2 Insight Kobra 2 3.0.6 (YES) Cura / Prusa / Prusa(3.0.6)
Kobra 2 Pro Insight Pro Not available (NEVER) / Yes w HW change Cura / Prusa
Kobra 2 Plus Insight Plus Not available (NEVER) / Yes w HW change Cura / Prusa
Kobra 2 Max Insights MAX Not available (NEVER) / Yes w HW change Cura / Prusa

FAQ begin:

Q: Is there Klipper available for these Printers?

A: Some Yes and some No, the community on Klipper board is very active and i think we will got these Function in the near Future.

Q: Why theres no Klipper for PRO/PLUS/MAX?

A: The Motherboard is a new generation of Trigorilla Board (Trigorilla_Spe_A_V1.0.0) These didn´t have a normal MCU like STM32Fxx or GD32Fxx. They put on an Allwinner Arm CPU (R582-S3) This CPU controls the whole Printer. So it must be reverse engeneered before they can compile a Klipper Version for these Printers.

Q: I got error Messages "Hotend/Hotbed NTC abnormal please check it an wiring/ Please Restart"

A:

1- When you have NTC errors Like "NTC Heatbed or Nozzle abnormal. Check first if wiring is correct. Now check with a multimeter in Ohm´s Mode if the Values are like the Values in the Chart.

2- Sometimes after many times the Hotend gets Hot and Cold it can be that the NTC probe got a little bit loose. Check if the Screw is tight and the NTC is not loose.

Q: How can i configure or Modify my Printer.cfg?

A:

ATTENTION! IF YOU TRY THIS YOU DO THIS UNDER YOUR OWN RISK! I KNOW 2 PEOPLE THAT BRICKED THERE PRINTERS!!!

Is the Ace 2 Pro's seal good?

1 Upvotes

Hi. I'm looking to purchase the Ace 2 Pro, but as were I live is very humid, I'm wondering if the sealing ring is really good, before making the purchase.

Like, if I leave the filaments inside it, without opening it, will they remain at the same humidity level a few days later. Not asking about long term storage, just about a few days/couple of weeks at most. I want to not have to store the filament right after a print, when I know that I'll be printing something with that filament a couple days later.

From your experience, can the Ace 2 Pro allow for this kind of laziness? 😂

Thanks

Problem segundo problema com o cabeçote da impressora

Post image
1 Upvotes

oi pessoal! é a segunda vez q tenho problema com a anycubic kobra x. ha menos de um mes atras, eu tive que pedir um cabecote novo pro suporte pq o filamento ficou preso e nao saia de forma alguma. enviaram e resolvi

ontem, eu estava fazendo uma impressao e a impressora desligou sozinha e nao ligava por nada. abri toda a impressora e vi q nada estava queimado, mas o filamento estava preso no cabecote. quando eu desconectei o cabo que liga o cabecote na impressora, ela voltou a ligar e aparece essa mensagem na tela, o que me leva a crer é que o problema é novamente o cabecote.

eu entrei em contato com o suporte mas honestamente queria o estorno da impressora, pq não é normal em menos de um mes esse cabecote que é novo dar problema de novo. alguem sabe o que pode ter acontecido?

Problem Jobra S1 Max keeps smashing prints

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I've run into some problems with my S1 Max. Bought six weeks ago, started out fine, then dropped the front plate mid print (AI detection didn't do shit) and smashed into the print. Resulting in a wrecked nozzle and warped front plate. Since then I basically didn't get one good, trouble free print larger than a Benchy.

Leveling seems off, corners are higher than the center of the build plate (ran around 25 first layer tests, center is perfect), prints peel of the build plate more often than not.

What I've done so far:

-Cleaned the PEI plate with soap and water as well as alcohol

-Tried a different build plate

-Cleaned and lubed Z-Axis lead screws

-Checked belts

-Checked printhead for loose screws (heats ink turned out to be wobbly)

I don't know how to fix this and am THIS close to just returning the printer and buying a Qidi Max4.

M7: Odd failure pattern

Post image
1 Upvotes

Running a M7 ACF film 885 hours. Never had any issues with it other than the expected random failures. A few days ago I noticed several failures on the front center of my build plate. If ypu break down the build plate into two rows of three, it would be section 2. In that area the prints stick to the release film and not the build plate. I knew a release film change was due so I attributed the failures to that. Went ahead and replaced the ACF and two more prints later with failures in the same area. Thought I may have installed the film incorrectly. I spun the vat around and printed a different file but the same area failed again. I have a brand new backup build plate with ACF factory installed. Swapped it out and reprinted the exact same file. That print also failed in the exact same way.

Exposure test show no dead areas and the many vat clean up exposures print a solid sheet. That seems to indicate the screen is fine.

My next step can only be a level test but I don't know how the plate would have gotten out of level and how all four corners and the back center are still level and printing perfectly and that one section is not.

Any suggestions? Despite the evidence I am led to believe its a screen going bad, but how do I know other than spending $150 for a new screen?

Edit: Just FYI in case it helps, I have been resin printing for 7 years. Started way back with the og Photon S. After many years and upgrades currently running the M7(not pro or max)

Problem Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo — First layer squished into the bed despite correct paper test and auto-leveling

1 Upvotes

Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo — First layer squished into the bed despite correct paper test and auto-leveling

Hi everyone,

I'm having a frustrating first-layer issue with my Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo, and I'd appreciate some help diagnosing it.

My setup

- Printer: Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo

- Firmware: Stock firmware (v1.5.6.4)

- Slicer: Anycubic Slicer Next, default Kobra 2 Neo profile

- Build plate: Original PEI sheet

- Auto-leveling: Original inductive probe

- Hardware: No modifications

- Software: No recent firmware updates or configuration changes

The problem

My nozzle is too close to the build plate when the print starts. The first layer is completely squished, and the nozzle scrapes against the PEI bed, including during the purge line.

The strange thing is that the Z-offset seems correct before printing.

Here's what I've checked so far:

- I performed auto-leveling.

- I manually checked the nozzle-to-bed distance using the paper test, and it feels correct.

- My current Z-offset is -1.45 mm.

- After homing the printer, the nozzle-to-bed distance still seems correct when checked with paper.

- I also tried printing an official Anycubic test file, but the exact same problem occurs.

Since the problem also happens with an official test file, I'm not sure whether this is caused by the Z-offset, the inductive probe, the bed mesh, or something else.

What I've tried / observed

The paper test looks good before printing, but as soon as the printer starts the purge line, the nozzle is too low and the first layer gets heavily compressed.

I haven't made any hardware modifications, and I'd prefer to identify the actual cause rather than randomly changing settings.

My questions

  1. What could cause the nozzle to be at the correct height during the paper test but too low when printing starts?

  2. Could the inductive probe be mounted at the wrong height or triggering inconsistently, even if auto-leveling completes successfully?

  3. Could the bed mesh fail to apply during printing, even with an official Anycubic test file?

  4. Is there a way to check whether the printer is changing the effective Z position or Z-offset after homing?

  5. Are there any known firmware issues or calibration problems on the Kobra 2 Neo that cause this exact symptom?

Has anyone experienced the same issue on a stock Kobra 2 Neo and managed to fix it?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions for specific diagnostic tests. I'd rather find the root cause than keep changing the Z-offset without understanding what's happening.

Thanks in advance!

I need some help/advice with printing white pla. I have been trying for 2 days and results aren’t what they typically are when printing black pla. I did a nozzle swap and a temp tower and learned that 205° is the best for this filament. The right mask i printed last night and the left one just came off the printer. Only change was the left I painted the seams on. Black print for comparison

Problem Kobra X X axis problem

1 Upvotes

I printed on tuesday and it worked fine

Tonight i wanted to print something and saw spaghetti errors in the morning. The print itself also had x axis layer shifts

I restarted the print after cleaning the bed and instantly got an error because of x axis homing (10118)

I had to move the printhead with some force to make it move while the printer was turned off.

Moving the printhead i felt it doesn't move smoothly all the way on the x axis rail.

I regularly added some grease with the brush on and in the rail and also tried to clean it as best as i could with a special tool printed and a cloth.

I did a full calibration, which went fine.

After restarting the broken print i got the x axis homing error again. Again the printhead was hard to move.

What can it be and what do i have to do to get rid of it?

Thanks

Problem Using a Kobra 3 smooth build plate on a Kobra X??

1 Upvotes

I got a Kobra 3 v1... been using one them 2 sided smooth build plates on it, the ones that transfers a design (carbon fibre) to the print. No issues on K3, adhesion is great, better than stock plate actually.

Recently I picked up a Kobra X. The K3 smooth plate is couple MM smaller than the kobra X plate. Prints will not stick to the smooth plate. I set the smooth plate in slicer, did the leveling, played around temp and stuff.

Nothing helps... it should work. Any ideas anyone? Thanks

Problem Anycubic app/slicer

2 Upvotes

I dont know what to say other than it sucks. I've had 3 failed prints in a row for the slicer in the app. I have a Mono M7 Pro and im getting the "melted puddle" at one end of the print and bad supports. The slicer won't let me elevate the pattern away from the plate. This is how I've dealt with this issue in the slicing program on my PC. Does anyone have a suggestion?
